When Michael Howard was Home Secretary crime fell, so he cut police numbers. He ran a tight ship at the home office. None of the Labour Home Secretaries can claim to have got a grip of the Home Office, waste and incompetence will will be the hallmarks of the Labour party's home affairs team.
I now learn that police forces will be forced to cut numbers despite crime rising. I shouldn't be surprised what with armed forces cuts, special school closures and hospital closures it follows a pattern. It takes a special kind of incompetence to massively increase tax and public spending and still manage to run out of money for core public services.
